Legend holds that their alliance was formed in A.D. 1119 in order to protect pilgrims in the Holy Land. Later they came to be known as the warrior elite of Christiandom. But because of their intense secrecy, many debated whether the Knights Templar were the embodiment of divine good—or the incarnation of evil. Here, the bestselling author/editor who brought readers Tales of the Knights Templar and On Crusade: More Tales of the Knights Templar returns with another brilliant collection of original stories by some of fantasy fiction’s best and brightest authors about the mystical legends surrounding the Knights Templar.

      The third in Kurtz's series of anthologies exploring the legend of the Knights Templar is another treat for lovers of historical fantasy. Kurtz opens with her own almost straight historical piece about the origins of the Templars, and Debra Doyle and James D. MacDonald close with a humorous piece about a couple of modern Templars finding an occult mystery in the ranks of Kipling fans. In between, Kurtz's frequent collaborator Deborah Turner Harris explores Richard the Lion-Hearted, Susan Shwartz adds a moving pendant to Scott's " Ivanhoe," Robert Reginald involves the Templars in a historical mystery with William of Occam doing the detecting, Patricia Kennealy-Morrison introduces her extravagant Keltiad to the Templars (or vice versa), and so on. The authors are all competent and even expert handlers of historical milieus, and those offering the farther-out tales of the Templars and the occult don't overindulge themselves. A historical fantasy collection worth well more than its price.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2002, American Library Association.)
